Judge Gross Calls Fox Early TV Rights Sale Objections "Disingenuous"

Gross called Fox's damage claims "highly speculative and therefore unsubstantiated." Gross also cited as "never supported by evidence" the claim of former Fox Sports Networks President Robert Thompson that Fox would have discounted the Dodgers' contract by 25% without the negotiating rights now in dispute.

Fox has an exclusive negotiating window that lasts through January 19; thereafter, the rights can be auctioned.
